This is what happens when you spin a bearing at 70 mph. Now we are in Kimball Nebraska until Thursday.

Pics are on photobucket so no reduction there sorry And that was the funny part. We had just stopped at the rest area on the Wyoming Nebraska Line. Their was no heat smell of anything burning or any outward signs on the wheel. But 15 miles on down the road poof. It flew off. But no car was hit and it even bounced over the barb wire fence into the field. So no damage to anything except the trailer of course.

thanks for the roses on the pics. Having a good digital camera helps. And I do not know about anyone else but the size does not effect my 17 inch laptop screen.

Change your resolution to something higher than 800X600 :P

Actually, I realized my resolution is set at 1400X1050, so they fit on my screen.
